The Systems of the Body series has established itself as a valuable resource for all medical and other health science students following system-based courses. In this second edition all the volumes have been updated to take into account feedback from readers of the first edition. Each volume continues to present the core knowledge of basic science and clinical conditions that medical students need, offering an integrated view of the system unavailable from standard textbooks. An expanded selection of self-assessment material is available from www.studentconsult.com/gopaperless

The Respiratory System explains basic science in the context of clinical case histories, giving the reader an integrated understanding of the system and its major diseases.

The Respiratory System is ideal for medical students, and also for students of other health professions taking systems-based courses.



  • One of the seven volumes in the Systems of the Body series.


  • Concise text covers the core anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in an integrated manner as required by system- and problem-based medical courses.


  • The basic science is presented in the clinical context in a way appropriate for the early part of the medical course.


  • There is a linked website providing self-assessment material ideal for examination preparation.
